Zwift Update 1.0.31423 Released

We know there are some big updates rolling out in the next few weeks, but for now the developers have added a few features, made some tweaks and fixed some bugs in an update that dropped early on October 31. Here’s a quick rundown…

New Option to Mute Title Music

This was previously only doable as a hack. Now just click Menu>Settings and see the option at the top of the list.

Increased Spawning Areas

Most of the routes previously started just north of the start pens and start/finish banner and headed north. These have been moved to various points south so you ride through the start/finish to begin the route.

Additionally, the handful of routes that begin in a southward direction have had their starting points moved further north.

The end result is the spawning has been spread out, so we won’t have so many riders on the site of the road in one place. Here are the start points which changed in this update, as far as I can tell:

Zwift Hype Facebook group has shared evidence of the virtual store launching soon, as well as group “meetups” where riders can organize their own in-game rides. So I think those two things are coming very soon!

How could anyone think of deactivating Zwift’s wonderful and iconic background music? — NOT! Seriously, so appreciative to the Zwift gods that we now can choose to mute the opening tune, which has haunted me in my dreams and plays incessantly in my mind while riding outside on the road. So, so sick of it! Zwift could also have changed the background music with each update, which may have made things somewhat more palatable — not hard to do.
